ESDM Therapy
Most moms and dads say to me, ‘I thought there was a problem at 14 or 15 months…’ and they say, ‘We’ll wait because sometimes children change over time.’ That’s not a good answer. You have to distinguish between the lesser problems, when we can wait and see later, and the major problems, when we should have acted on them yesterday. We can’t wait nine months, we can’t wait two months.

What is G-ESDM Therapy?
Yaldei’s Early Stimulation Group is a therapeutic and play-based program serving children 0–6 years old with special needs. It uses the principles of the Early Start Denver Model in a group format (G-ESDM) to support learning opportunities tailored to each child’s strengths, needs, and personality.
The program provides intensive early stimulation to maximize development and unlock each child’s potential across varied domains such as mobility, language, social behavior, and self-awareness.
With a staffing ratio of 1 adult for 2–3 children, the program efficiently supports progress across multiple developmental domains.
